LED grow lights... input please.

[newactivist]

I know, ledgrower. There are other companies that sell LED grow systems for less. Believe me I'm not endorsing his products over anyone elses as I haven't done a cost comparison. It was the technology working that I am interested in.

I guess it doesn't matter who sells the LED's as long as they emit in the correct PAR spectrums. After that would come cost comparison and quality.

I asked him if they could produce a custom light for growing, and here's what he told me: Our options are as follow: 940nm, 850nm, 660nm, 630nm, 610nm, 590nm 570nm, 530nm, 510nm, 470nm, 460nm, 400nm and a total of 64 LEDs in the bulb.

Leds, 10 day month, free power, wind power, solar power. None of them have happened to save money with out Federal support
Free wind power cost $0.14 to produce, sells for $0.09 (The poor people pay the differance)
Solar is almost the same, But take like 15 years to break even on the polution to produce the cells.
Pot month is still 30 days long +-1.0003
Wind power and solar power as yet to make ONE Cent.
The new hybr, cars require gas to get to $10.00 a gallon for the SAVINGS ti take place. Also you must drive them 60,000 miles a year.
IN There life time they use up, more epa stuff than a standard car
Now Leds NASA has a unlimited budget to grow in space.
They use florsent panels ,,, flat florsent panels.
The sulfur lamp cost <$3200 and produces a little more than a 1400 watt bulb , but requires more power than a 1500 mh. After what 12 years its going to be comming out soon,(as of 1995)
Save time dig a hole in the back yard 6 ft deep and 1 ft wide and plant you Fairy god muther.
She is a whore and charges for her favors.

I'm back :dance: oldsanclem is also not taking into account the full data available for those statistics but like you said wrong forum. So I'm designing my own LED system to take advantage of certain cannabis traits that current models available do not exploit. Also, wavelength is being tailored to cannabis. I have the preliminary schematics drawn up now. I need access to AutoCAD to do the final version though. Actually I have an older version I just need a PC to run it on. I don't think my silly box diagram is enough for manufacture.

Sooooooo....

Anybody has any LED-grown plants yet?

[Garden Knowm]

yeah what turtle said. somebody DO IT!!!!!!

: )

[sheist]

Guess what.. I got 2 48-LED blue spectrum 470nm bulbs on the way

[FERMENTATION]

Way to go sheist :thumbsup:. Your going to need some reds to though. The only thing stopping me is a total lack of money. I have a good design, although it will probably have to be manufactured. When I do go ahead with this I will have my production schematics completed by the power of autoCAD.

Sheist: Do you know the specs for the individual bulbs? What is the degree of projection? Supposedly a 15º bulbs light will penetrate to lower parts of the plant much better than a 30º bulbs light since the beam is more focused.

When they show up take some pics of the bulbs and scan any relevant info that comes with them and post it here, please. I would really like to see all that.

What was the cost? Where did you get them?
